This is only a cover. You take the cover plate off an existing outlet and add this cover. BTW Amazon's Product Description says "The TayMac weatherproof plastic in-use cover (16 in 1) deep horizontal/vertical configuration in clear MM510C safely covers any electrical outlet in seconds. The patented Multi-Mac features our Universal Fit system which enables you to use the same product for all types of receptacles."

You will have to purchase a receptacle separately from the plastic cover. Only the weather cover is provided. The install is easy once you have wired and firmly secured the electrical receptacle. Again, no electric receptacle is provided with the cover. Good luck with it!

There is no box, in the traditional sense. The frame around the outlet is the box. It is one integrated unit. It is all plastic.

It may mate up but you will have trouble fitting another cover for either a light switch or receptacle. These are more meant to be in their own box.

The wall plate itself connects to a standard outlet box like any other wall plate (AC outlet, cable outlet, etc..). I found a handy one at ACE hardware that you can install from the front (outside) of the wall by just cutting the hole, inserting the box, and tighten down the "molly" like tabs. Run the wires inside the wall and into the box before inserting the outlet box into the wall. I hope that helps.Take a look at "Thomas & Betts #b120r Sg Old Work Box" on Amazon for an example of the outlet box.

There is no cover. You pin-in the telephone wires on the push-down pins right on top. You'll need to put this in an enclosure if you want the wires covered.

It is not quite big enough to cover a standard outlet box. I would put a solid plate over the outlet box and then install on either side, preferably on the stud the box is connected too.

Not sure how big a "standard outdoor protective box" is, but the unit is about 10" long (including plug protruding from the end) by 3 1/2'" wide, by 2 3/4" deep. Hope that helps!! Based upon the other answers, the plug itself should fit, the entire unit, no.

Take the existing cover plate off and use the screw holes in the new unit to attach the new unit to the existing receptacle. It's an easy, solid, and straightforward install. You won't have any trouble in a standard outlet. Plus, it comes with instructions.

Yes = the screw is long enough to secure to the outlet itself. In fact, I did not remove the outlet cover itself - just the screw. The I placed the Belkin Surge Master over the outlet cover and used the screw that came with it - to secure it.- This is my 5th one. I had to replace one because it failed after a couple of years. I assume because it did its job and protected my devices as intended. I keep an extra one around for a quick replacement.

The side that is grounded to the box is for your ground wires. The side that is insulated from the box is for the common wire. Load goes to the breaker.

It comes with a long screw that replaces the one in your face plate on the outlet. Once tightened it is very secure.

Our outdoor plugins have a flip up cover so it doesn't look like a outlet. All ours are pretty low to the ground so we used a really long outdoor extension cord to ours by our front door.

Mine came with a long screw to replace the screw on the outlet cover so that this item can't get accidentally pulled out of the outlet. I'm sure you can just plug it in and use it if the screw is missing.

To make it more professional looking & for future ease of access & weatherproofing, buy an outdoor single-gang outlet box with a 1/2" throat, facing away from the weather & a little silicone caulk & you're golden. Many done this way & never a problem.

A regular electrical box used for outlets or switches. I recommend the deep one with rotating arms to hold the box securely to the sheetrock. Cut a rectangular hole in the wall, place box in the wall, and turn arms to tighten against the wall. Beware of your vertical studs in the wall for clearance.

The outlets are on the bottom of the unit, there is no cover, only a very small lip to protect them. I have used this outside, exposed to the elements twice so far (Halloween and Christmas) with no problems.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.
